Chapter 285 I Want to Do This Myself
Due to Ji Xinyu's series of hurried movements, Ye Wanqing's car had to slowly stop on the busy street.
The afterglow of the setting sun spread across the road, and the crowds of people going home from get off work and the vehicles intertwined into a flowing picture, and they became the discordant notes in this picture.
Ji Xinyu was wearing a simple and capable white suit. She walked to Ye Wanqing's car window, gently placed her hands on the car door, and stood in an almost provocative posture:
"Miss Ye, it's really a coincidence. It seems our fate is even deeper than I imagined."
Ye Wanqing gently turned the steering wheel and slowly drove the car to the side of the road. At the same time, she pressed the double flash. Traffic slowly flowed by on both sides, and she maintained her unique calmness and indifference. She slowly lowered the window, her eyes calm and unwavering:
"Miss Ji, you are waiting here specially, is it just to reminisce about the past?"
Ji Xinyu's lips curled up into a subtle smile, as if with a hint of amusement: "Reminiscing about the past? That really overestimates our relationship. I'm just curious, Ms. Ye, can she still remain calm in the face of such an emergency."
Ye Wanqing's gaze never wavered. She responded calmly, "Miss Ji, if you just want to test my determination, then you can draw your conclusion now."
Ji Xinyu suddenly leaned forward, her hands resting on the car window frame. Her delicately made-up face almost touched Ye Wanqing's nose, and her eyes gleamed with a complex light:
"Ms. Ye, I heard that a fragile soul is often hidden beneath a glamorous exterior, like depression? Is that true?"
Ye Wanqing's eyes flickered slightly, then she regained her composure. She responded with an almost imperceptible sense of alienation, "Miss Ji's sources of information are quite extensive, but my personal affairs do not seem to be within the scope of today's discussion."
"Oh?" Ji Xinyu stood up straight, a meaningful smile on his face. "So, does Lin Xuan know? I guess he would be heartbroken if he knew."
Ye Wanqing's lips curled up into a faint smile, and her tone was filled with unquestionable determination: "Miss Ji, I think you misunderstood. The relationship between Lin Xuan and me is not what you think. Moreover, I believe he would rather see us both be well."
After saying that, Ye Wanqing no longer gave Ji Xinyu any chance to respond. She lightly stepped on the accelerator and the car drove away smoothly, leaving Ji Xinyu standing there with a gloomy expression.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the clock had already pointed to six o'clock. Ye Wanqing was secretly glad that her lie to Ji Xinyu had not been exposed.
Although Lin Xuan was indeed on a business trip, her dinner appointment was real, but the person was Qin Zhuyu.
The lights in the restaurant were soft. Qin Zhuyu had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Ye Wanqing come in, she joked, "I thought you would be kept by the elders of the Lin family to enjoy a warm dinner."
Ye Wanqing shook her head slightly, a smile of apology in her eyes: "I dare not neglect my promise to you in the slightest."
The two sat down. Qin Zhuyu took the menu and was about to order when she suddenly frowned: "What a narrow road for enemies! Ji Xinyu is here too."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing's eyes involuntarily looked towards the door. Sure enough, Ji Xinyu was walking in slowly. His gaze lingered on them for a moment, and finally fixed on Ye Wanqing. His eyes were complicated and difficult to read.
Seeing this, Qin Zhuyu couldn't help but sigh. "This Ji Xinyu, although not cheerful before, was at least a gentle person. How come after going abroad, he has completely changed? He has become so aggressive."
Ye Wanqing gently stirred the cup of water in her hand, the ripples reflecting her thoughtful face. "Perhaps, time and environment have changed her. Everyone grows, just in different directions."
Qin Zhuyu nodded in agreement, then changed the subject: "But I don't want her to affect our dinner mood. Forget it, ignore her and let's continue."
The dinner went quite pleasantly until the end, when the two paid the bill and left. Ye Wanqing walked towards the parking lot alone, but she never expected that Ji Xinyu was waiting for her there.
"Ms. Ye, it turns out that lies also require courage to support." Ji Xinyu's voice sounded particularly cold in the night.
Ye Wanqing stopped and turned around. In the moonlight, her figure seemed particularly firm: "Ms. Ji, lies are sometimes meant to protect, not to deceive. And you seem to have misunderstood what I meant."
A complicated light flashed in Ji Xinyu's eyes, and finally turned into a chuckle: "Maybe, but I want to know more, Miss Ye, what are you afraid of?"
Ye Wanqing smiled slightly, a smile that carried a hint of relief: "Miss Ji, I'm not afraid of anything. I just don't want meaningless disputes to disrupt the tranquility of our lives. Isn't it good for us to be well on our own?"
Ji Xinyu: "I didn't expect that you are friends with the eldest daughter of the Qin family."
Ye Wanqing smiled gently and said, "Miss Ji is truly discerning. Qin Zhuyu's personality is indeed unique. Perhaps it is my good fortune to be her close friend."
Ji Xinyu stood not far away, a hint of a smile on her lips: "Miss Ye is really good at talking, but compared to me, it seems that she is still a little inferior."
Ye Wanqing's smile was a little more playful: "Miss Ji, you are too kind. However, I have always been straightforward and not good at beating around the bush. If I have offended Miss Ji in any way, I hope you will forgive me."
Ji Xinyu took a step closer, as if testing her: "Miss Ye seems to have some prejudice against me? Could it be that I didn't do something well enough to displease Miss Ye?"
Ye Wanqing tilted her head slightly, her eyes clear in the moonlight: "Miss Ji, you're worrying too much. We just don't have much in common, so it's not a question of wanting to see each other or not. As for prejudice, that's out of the question."
Ji Xinyu nodded, a meaningful smile on her lips: "Indeed, we do need to get to know each other better. However, Miss Ye, I still want to remind you, please be careful when driving at night."
As she spoke, she deliberately scratched the body of Ye Wanqing's silver car with her fingernails, leaving a tiny mark, and then stepped back gracefully, as if everything that had just happened was just an unintentional action.
Ye Wanqing's gaze lingered on the mark for a moment, then she smiled gently, bent down, got into the car, started the engine, and drove away.
Back at the villa, Lin Xuan's phone rang. Ye Wanqing answered the phone while unbuckling her seat belt: "Hello, Lin Xuan, I just got home."
"Well, how was dinner?" Lin Xuan's voice came through the phone line, with a hint of tenderness and concern.
Ye Wanqing casually placed her bag on the sofa and replied with a smile: "Not bad, the restaurant Qin Zhuyu chose is delicious."
"That's good. By the way, I have some things to deal with at work, so I might be busy." There was a hint of apology in Lin Xuan's tone.
Ye Wanqing raised her eyebrows and chuckled: "Boss Lin, have you encountered any difficulties? Do you need my help?"
"Well, there is indeed a problem." Lin Xuan's voice was a little more playful. "It's just that I miss you a little bit. What should I do?"
Ye Wanqing had just taken off her shoes when she heard this and couldn't help laughing: "Lin Xuan, are you acting like a spoiled child with me? This is not like your style."
"You have to be a little humane sometimes." Lin Xuan said with a smile, "However, you just came back, so you should get some rest. I've checked the high-speed rail tickets, and there are still a few trains tonight, but I don't want you to be too tired."
Ye Wanqing walked to the water dispenser, poured a glass of water, took a sip, and then said: "Actually, I met Ji Xinyu on the road after I came out of the old house."
"She? What did she do to you?" Lin Xuan's voice immediately became serious.
"She forced my car to stop." Ye Wanqing said lightly, "Besides, she seemed to already know about my condition."
"I will contact Ji Xing'an and ask him to discipline this sister." There was a hint of displeasure in Lin Xuan's tone.
Ye Wanqing tied her hair up casually, walked to the window, and looked at the moonlight outside. "Ji Xing'an may not be able to control her. You know Ji Xinyu's personality. Once she makes a decision, it's hard to turn back."
"Then I can't just sit back and watch." Lin Xuan's tone was firm, "You are my girlfriend, I will never allow anyone to hurt you."
Ye Wanqing turned around and looked at the moonlight outside the window. A warm feeling welled up in her heart: "Lin Xuan, thank you for your concern. However, I still want to handle this matter myself. After all, the Ji family and the Lin family are old friends, and I don't want this matter to affect the relationship between the two families."
"But..." Lin Xuan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ye Wanqing.
"Lin Xuan, don't worry. I already have a plan. Besides, I believe you, you will definitely understand me." Ye Wanqing's voice was full of trust and determination.
Lin Xuan was silent for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly: "Okay. Since you have made up your mind, then I respect your choice. However, if the Ji family really doesn't discipline Ji Xinyu, then I will not sit idly by."
"Okay, I understand." Ye Wanqing said with a smile, "You should also go to bed early. Good night."
"Good night." Lin Xuan's voice sounded on the other end of the phone, with a hint of reluctance and tenderness.
